France Adopts Climate Plan to Prepare for 4°C Warming by 2100

Météo-France warns of severe heatwaves, droughts, and flooding as the nation braces for drastic climate impacts.

Météo-France projects a 4°C rise in France's average annual temperature by 2100, with significant regional climate shifts anticipated.
Heatwaves exceeding 40°C will become annual occurrences by 2100, with local records of 50°C possible as early as 2050.
Severe droughts are expected to intensify, with southern France facing up to two additional months of dry soil annually.
Mediterranean regions could experience up to 80 days of very high wildfire danger per year by the end of the century.
Winters will bring heavier rainfall, increasing flooding risks, while snowfall will decline, impacting water supplies and hydroelectricity.
